probably referring to the sideskirts. They are FEEDs original design but there are alot of replicas floating around becuase its such a simple piece. Looks GREAT though! nice car

To answer the questions:

Wheels are OZ Racing Nova 17" also have front fenders rolled slightly.
Side skirts are the Rotary Extreme side skirts from the group buy recently.
Don't worry, it was shammy'ed shortly after the pics :-)

Just figured I'd chime in because I also have those wheels. You don't see them very often. Mine are the 18" two-piece version. I really like them.

Love the side skirts. Those are the only ones I like besides the 99 oem ones. Unfortunately they weren't around when I had the 7 painted. Tires look tall. Prolly why you had to roll the fenders.

Other modifications include:

Downpipe, Catback (N1 Dual), Eibach Springs, Tokico shocks, Cross drilled / slotted rotors, Hawk HPS pads, stainless steel brake lines, Act Streetlight flywheel, Short shifter (forget the type, but not one of the B&M type, more like C's or Mazdaspeed), Koyo radiatior, Tri-point AST, Turbojeff battery tray, boost gauge, water temp gauge, I think that is it.

Mods waiting for installation include: PFS Intercooler (waiting to install when I purchase a PFC), intake, new trailing arms & toe links, top / bottom rubber shock mounts, and some other things I can't think of. Also have a high flow cat I removed to help me pass Cali smog

My car was shammied (sp?) dry minutes after the pics, so don't worry, there won't be a 3rd gen lost to the spontaneous rusting that occurs here in sunny southern California ;-) ..though I can't guarantee it won't spontaneously combust...it is a 3rd gen after all.

.... birdshit has acid and sand (helps the birds digest) so it can slowly eat in your paint. it even etches within hrs if you let it sit on your paint. if you want to clean bird **** dont wipe. get a quick detailer spray and a micro fiber towels and just try to dab the crap, try not to cause friction. and dont forget to wipe water from your door jambs
